To offer you a unified experience, we have integrated an image creation and editing tool directly into the design editor of your emails. No need to create and upload your images from an external tool: you can create your email campaign and unique images directly from the editor. You can either choose from a range of professional templates that can be customized to match your brand or create your own visual design.

Before you start

If you want to customize your own images, you must upload them beforehand to the Content library. To learn more, check our dedicated article Manage images for your email design in the Content library.

🖼️ Create an image

There are two ways you can create an image with the editor:

• [Recommended] From a template: Some elements are already inserted. Choosing a template allows you to create professional quality designs easily.
• From scratch: Your page is empty and you have complete creative freedom.

1. Access your Content library: Add or select an Image block and click Replace (image).
2. Click Create image at the top of the Content library.
3. Choose if you want to create an image from a template or from scratch.
   From a template From scratch

   Browse through the available templates and select your preferred one. You can filter by categories and sizes.

   Select the size of your image. You can choose between three options:

   • Square (600 X 600)
   • Banner (1200 X 300)
   • 16/9 (608 X 342)
   💡 Good to know

   You will be able to select another template from the Templates tab on the left-side toolbar within the editor at any time. Be aware this will replace your current image and all your content will be discarded.
4. Add elements and customize your image. We'll detail the potential of the editor in the section below.

🧑‍🎨 Customize your design

Once you have chosen between creating an image from a template or from scratch, you can start customizing your design.

Customize your template

If you've chosen a template, you can customize the different elements initially present. For example, you can choose a different image, change the color of the shapes and the text, or pick a different font. The available customization options for each element are detailed in the next section. You cannot rotate, move, resize, arrange, duplicate, or delete these elements. You can however add new elements if you wish.

Add elements to your image or template

If you've chosen to create an image from scratch, you will need to insert all the elements you want. You can also add new elements to a template.

To add images, text, shapes, or stickers to your page, click Elements, or click the tab of the type of element you wish to add. To go even quicker, use the search bar to find items.
